Slough Creek event
We had a great turnout due to the nice warm temps (15C). We ran out of intermediate maps. Sandy's courses were well received.
I had a decent run. I was able to keep moving most of the time although I did get tired. The course was easy so I didn't make any mistakes.

Mike and I went to Rockcrusher and I re-ran his long course from 2016 in reverse order. Run is a misnomer, I actually walked it. This was more physical training than mental training today. I was out of it and missed one control badly, which I didn't know until I downloaded my track, That is never a good sign.

First attempt at my 5k training loop. I didn't even try to walk up the hills, so this was lot slower than my first run last year. But it's also more than a month earlier than last year, so I have time to get into running shape.

Then I did a bit of O practice in west campus. I used the 100-control course, going to every third control starting at 98 and going backwards (to 86 then skipped to 36 and down to start triangle). I thought that would add a bit of mental challenge in deciding where to go next. It was also good to train when I was tired from my 5k run.

Back in Madison for my last (?) trip. Had a lovely dinner with D&B at Everly, where I ate too much. We ate pretty early due to Bethany's schedule, so I had time to exercise in the hotel gym after. Started with the bike while my stomach settled.

Mike and I went out to Rockcrusher. He was going to pick up the mini-markers he had put out earlier this month (for a"choose your own adventure" type event, download the map, go any time). I picked a course and was pleasantly surprised that the markers were all there (Mike decided to follow behind me).I deliberately took routes through the crappy woods to HTFU. I pushed the pace a bit in the beginning, but I soon gave up and trudged on through.
Beautiful warm sunny day, it was nice to be outside.

A bit of moving around at lunchtime, since we had a tax appointment after work. There was a glitch in their computer program that counted some investment income twice. They'll have to figure out what went wrong and we'll have to go back a second time. Bummer.

Putting out markers for today’s event. Weather was great. Turnout was lower than I had hoped but we had lots of first-timers and Marina earned her hat (third O event after Women in O class).

Another "Orienteering for Women" session. This is the time for putting out and picking up the markers. Kjrsten helped, which was nice. Everything went smoothly and folks had a good time.
But I was disappointed. The buzz for this event had been great. It was fully booked and I had a waiting list. People were calling this week and even this morning to ask if they could come.
This event was rescheduled from an icy January day, and I knew the Chiefs could potentially be in the Super Bowl. But the game doesn't start until 5, and we were out there from 10-12, so I didn't think it would be a factor.
And the weather was fantastic, starting at 4 and rising to 12. Sunny too!
Yet only 6 folks showed up, and two of them were repeats. So, I only taught 4 new people today. I guess I'm just a bit tired and burnt out and was expecting it would be worth my time to train 15 new people. And that didn't happen. Also, it was unusual to have 9 no shows, especially since I told them there was a waiting list and to please let me know if they couldn't make it.
I'll just hope that the 6 who came today will become our most regular attendees in the years to come :)

Mike went out for a long bike ride. I decided it would be fun to go for a short bike ride in the warm weather and meet him on his way home. And it was!

PTOC event at Blue and Gray. Mike, Sandy and I drove together, which was a great opportunity to visit with Sandy for 2 hours.
My mind wasn't in it at the beginning and I made the same parallel error on both 1 and 2 (going in too early). Doh!
The trails were a muddy mess, the woods were full of thorns, and the hills were there. I pushed the pace a bit to practice orienteering on the edge (for me) and consequently I didn't do a great job on route choices today. But no big errors (after 1 and 2), so that was OK.
